Steal stickers bot

There are channels in Telegram that dishonestly appropriate other people's sticker packs. They completely copy stickers, including even animated ones, in a matter of minutes, although a lot of time and money can be spent on their creation. Let's talk about why they do it.

On the left - the copied package, on the right - the original one. Again, the CS GO logo and font belong to Valve, but who cares...

These channels strive to get maximum traffic by using links to sticker packs. The more packages users install and use, the more traffic they will receive. Look at the image presented, where there are two identical sticker packs with different names and links in the names. You may notice that one of the sticker packs has the name of the creator, and the other has a channel with stolen stickers.

Thus, these channels receive a huge number of stickers and emojis almost without difficulty. Take a look at the stikery4 channel to see how fast they are developing and practically taking over Telegram.

And this is all on the copied stickers?

But how do they copy them?

If you look at their link, you will notice a postfix with the name of the bot:

This e4zybot copies emojis and stickers cleanly, the link to which you will send him.

The problem is that this bot always leaves a link to itself in the name. How is it cleaned?

They log into the official @stickers bot and change the name using the /rename pack command.

Telegram does not solve the problem of copying and stealing stickers in any way. There are a huge number of such channels. Those who managed to promote their sticker packs are in the telegram tops, and continue to copy packs with complete impunity.

However, not everyone manages to get as much traffic. Fortunately, most thieves don't know how to promote sticker packs, or they just can't do it.

Why telegram ignores this is unclear. Apparently, he wants to become the second "ICQ". And what do you say about this?
